You can’t survive without balance. We can live on planet Earth because there is the right balance between Oxygen and whatever else there is in air, it’s exactly what we breathe. The plants that are good for us to eat grow out of the Earth’s soil, and the Earth’s water is the perfect thing for humans to drink.

But these things can change. A long, long time ago, like about 4 or 5 billion years ago, which is so far back the dinosaurs wouldn’t show up for another couple of billion years, in fact it was only a couple of billion years after the birth of the planet, single-celled creatures took over the world. They didn’t have any predators, since nothing else had evolved yet. They emitted oxygen, because it was toxic to them. Now, I don’t know exactly how they ’emitted’ it, but a fart is an emission, so I’m saying that.
Soon, or at any rate soon as long as we’re taking in terms of billions of years, which is truly a lot of years, they had emitted enough oxygen that that became the main element of the air, and these little creatures all died, paving the way for us.

Now, we’ve invented automobiles and power plants and factories to pump carbon fumes into the air, and the whole thing could happen again. You’d think we’d be smarter than single-celled organisms, but apparently not.

Very curious to see what’s going to happen in the Montana house race, but I don’t think Gianforte’s punching a reporter is going to make much of a difference. 50% of the votes had already been cast, and I’m sure a lot of people who will actually waited till today, voting day, to vote have mostly made up their minds.

But here’s an optimistic thought as I go to bed. Maybe the reason he snapped and flailed out is because he knew he was losing;. Let it be so.
